Low Block Confusion and John Potter’s Pants: A Season Preview

Just six weeks after Nick Walsh’s whistle brought the curtain down on ICT’s extended 2021-22
season and the supporters’ dreams of a return to the Premiership, Caley Thistle are ready to go
again. And so is The Wyness Shuffle. In this bumper preview of ‘22-23, we exchange our hopes and predictions for the new season, look at the changes to the squad, discuss all our Championship opponents, enjoy an exclusive interview with the manager, interrogate Sean Welsh and shoehorn in the usual 28 years’ worth of ICT references. Let’s shuffle!

01.45 Potential highlights. The pod panelists discuss what they are looking forward to in the season ahead.
03.40 The league and the season as a whole: what do we think about the make-up of this year’s Championship (Spoiler: not much) and how do we think the league might pan out? And why has Suv changed his tune about Michael Gardyne?
08.35 The Gaffer. Riley sits down with Billy Dodds to chat last season, this season, the team and the fans. And guess what? He really, really loves you.
26.41 Dissecting Doddsy. The pod reflects on the manager’s words, and the job he’s done so far.
